Everything for four batches of fresh cheese except the milk. Urban Cheesecraft puts an instruction booklet, unbleached 100% cotton cheesecloth, a metal probe thermometer, gluten free vegetarian rennet, gluten free non-GMO citric acid and non-iodized fine flake cheese salt in one box, and the cheesecloth and thermometer are reusable, so the box outlasts the sachets.

Add milk and ordinary kitchen equipment, a pot, a colander, a spoon and measuring utensils. The maker says you will be eating homemade mozzarella, ricotta or a simple farmers cheese in an hour or less, and that a batch runs about 1 to 1.5 lb. Store bought pasteurized milk works, raw farm milk works, ultra pasteurized and UHT milk does not. Unlimited email support is included, the kit is gluten free and vegetarian friendly, and it keeps a year at room temperature.

Not ready for mozzarella yet? The Mini Cheese Making Kit, $10.49 is this box minus the thermometer and the rennet: four batches of ricotta and farmers' cheese, about thirty minutes each.
